Please forward this newsletter to the players, parents and coaches on your team. We find that the more people that have the newsletter from your team, the better prepared the team is for all the other activities that are happening here during Pitch for the Cure weekend.
These newsletters will be used to send out bracket info, updates on team counts, deadlines, contests, maps, directions, special offers, hotels, team check-in, ceremonies, etc. Please try to have as many folks from your team registered here as possible.
We'd also love for you to feel free to share it with other teams, or friends, etc. Hopefully, this will help them make the decision to join us one year!

At the Heart of What We DO |
|
Pitch for the Cure is a girls' fastpitch softball tournament that raises funds for Chicks Charities but also has additional global ambitions attached to it. We connect regional youth to fight against breast cancer and empower girls to be active for change in their communities.
The 5th Annual Pitch for the Cure is presented by Northwest Arkansas Fastpitch Softball Association dba Springdale Chicks, in special partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure Ozark Affiliate. |

In 2009 we began offering our event shirts as a pre-ordered team item. It was wildly successful. A large number of people were able to get the shirt size and color they chose without worrying about us selling out during the weekend. They were bundled up for them to pick up all at once, nice and neat! We sold a record number of shirts (even though we ordered extra) and we only had a handful left at the end of the weekend.
For our 5th Anniversary event, four colors are being offered with a design that really says it all! In an instant the eye can collect all the important catch phrases about Pitch for the Cure plus the perfect pink awareness ribbon.
You can order these for $10.00/ea (add'l fees for plus sizes) by purchasing a minimum of 10. They can be purchased at the time of team registration or later. But there is a deadline!

We have set up some great hotels for you to choose from this year. Not only have we given you more options than in any other year, but we've asked our hotels to provide more details on their
accommodations.
When you look at the hotel section of our site this year, you'll first notice comments from us on where you might be playing. You'll then be able to start looking in the city of your choice for a hotel. We have hotels in Springdale, Fayetteville, Rogers and Bentonville.
Partner Hotels have agreed to give us rates for you, plus provide Pitch for the Cure with assistance on other areas such as Silent Auction Items or Hospitality Items for volunteers, etc. That's why you'll notice them listed at the top of the pages for their respective cities.
When you choose to look at a hotel, you'll be taken to a page that was designed especially for them. It shows all the details of their hotel along with pictures. You'll see pricing for the type of room they offer, local food options, laundry options....and every hotel has listed the distance to each and every ballpark!
We've tried to provide you with all the info that you need to make the best decision for your team or family. Please let us know how this new system works for you! PFTC Hotels
